Most people spend most of their time in offices, working for the benefit of their companies. And very often their workplaces are faceless, stuffy “boxes” that do not in any way promote dedication. Fortunately, this trend is gradually changing, and managers are creating all the conditions to encourage employees to work productively. This review presents the best examples of unusual offices that inspire creativity.

Moving forward and for the better does not leave unchanged the transformation of office spaces, the approach to the design of which has changed significantly in recent years. Today's modern office design is the use of new forms of premises arrangement in order to create the most favorable working environment for staff and cooperation with partners and clients, which in turn is the key to a positive image of the company, its successful prosperity and capital increase.

Many factors influence how you want your “brainchild” to be. Among them are the layout of the room and its stylistic image, the color scheme of work areas, the presence of utility rooms, the convenience of furniture, the location of equipment, lighting, temperature conditions, and air quality. Let’s say, as many enterprises as there are, there can be as many solutions in office design, but there are also some boundaries that you shouldn’t go too far beyond.

We suggest looking at how to properly and competently plan office space and organize workplaces so that a person would be happy to go to work in the current publication “Dream House”.

Interior layout of a modern office

The creation of any interior, including an office one, begins with a layout, which is of significant importance for the performance of the entire enterprise. When drawing up a project for a future office, you need to be guided by what type of activity the company conducts and how many of its employees are there. Several methods are used for the internal layout of office space:

• according to the principle of a cabinet system;
• open (Open Space);
• using modular partitions;
• mixed.

Today, offices with huge lobbies, long corridors and numerous offices can be found mainly in huge corporations, where the scope of work covers many industries and requires an individual approach in many matters. Huge offices include suspended glass ceilings, luxurious lobbies with staircases, parapets and columns, which are made of granite or marble. The design of lobbies, as well as offices and reception areas, also uses wall panels made of wood, which is still in demand.

Medium and small companies welcome the organization of space like an open space or modular office, which combine ergonomics, freedom and visual beauty, which corresponds to high-tech and styles. The main advantages of such layouts are rational use of space, the possibility of close interaction between colleagues and open relationships with the client.

But sometimes even the field of activity of a small company requires silence and concentration. In this case, if square meters allow, preference is given to a mixed office layout.

If space has to be saved, a move such as creating one closed room for negotiations and resolving issues that require privacy is used.

Many offices have a reception, a reception area for clients and partners, a conference room and separate offices for management staff. Their design may differ slightly from the general interior of the office and work areas. Let's say the reception desk may have a brighter finish, and the boss's room may be expensive and solid.

Part of progressive offices, in addition to the locker room and toilet room, is the presence of other office premises, the presence of which will prove that management cares about subordinates. So, during irregular working hours, the team will be given moral satisfaction by a relaxation room, which, in addition to comfortable armchairs or a sofa, may include a place for snacks, a billiard table, a small gym and a shower.

Design of an office that keeps up with the times: color and style

Today's offices are stylish, comfortable, practical and positive. Preference is given to interiors in which the decoration of walls, ceilings and floors, the design of furniture and equipment represent a single ensemble. It is clear that there are many styling options, and each specific office is an individual solution, and it should be such that the desire to work does not leave you.

In the first place is work on the color environment. Preferred colors for a modern office:

• pastel – blue, green, beige, yellow, cream;
• neutrals - dark gray, metallic and white.

Pastel cold shades used for the interior design of a modern office are suitable for structures whose activities require concentration and logical thinking, while warm shades are appropriate where the work is creative.

Business and formal offices in high-tech and Manhattan styles are impressed by huge windows, polished metal furniture, glass partitions, smooth surfaces, light, simple accessories, chrome and silver fittings, lamps on brackets, built into the furniture.

Separately, it is worth highlighting the office design in a classic style, which always remains cutting-edge. It is characterized by cabinets, tables and chairs made of dark wood, with noble upholstery and massive legs. The decoration of such interiors is rich libraries, expensive paintings and various antique objects. Massive chandeliers and are used as light sources here.

Relevant in the organization of office space is one that is aimed at discipline and collectivism. Its distinctive features are the refined harmony of colors, accessories and furniture. Simple furniture, light colors, a lot of light, lightness, asymmetrical repetition of elements - design principles in the spirit of Japan.

For offices where work is related to artistic or creative activities, interiors in the and styles are suitable, which represent elegance of lines, openwork partitions, screens, draped furniture, painted walls. They are characterized by unusual things, bright accessories, forged items, in general, everything that helps immerse oneself in the world of art.

Arrangement of the work area of ​​a modern office

In addition to creating a beautiful and stylish office space, providing staff with comfortable workspaces is an equally important point. The environment in which a person spends a long time affects his emotional state, which, in turn, affects his attitude towards his responsibilities and, in general, his productivity.

Important rules:

1. The furniture of each workplace should not only correspond to the company’s style, but also be of high quality and comfortable. At a minimum, this is a table with enough area to complete tasks, as well as a chair with the correct backrest position.
2. To decorate the floor of a room where people spend at least 8 hours, it is used, or, unlike tiles, these materials are not so cold, and also, due to their versatility, beautifully complement any interior.
3. If the work area is an open space or grouped in blocks, care must be taken to soundproof the room. They cope with this task perfectly

The design of an office space is an indicator of presentability and a successful business. You definitely need to choose a style solution wisely, and not just hang company logos on the walls and paint the walls in corporate colors.

The premises should immediately position future clients and partners for a favorable result. The place of work should be convenient not only for employees, but mostly for receiving important visitors.

Let's look at ideas for various modern office designs.

Mistakes when choosing a design

When choosing a light interior for a room, for example, with soft ottomans or unrealistic abstractions of photo wallpaper on the walls in a law firm, a potential client may perceive that the firm is not serious about its work.

For an IT company, on the contrary, a too conservative design will be dissonant with the latest technologies and progress.

Modern office interior

In order to competently arrange a stylish design that matches the work profile and inspire maximum confidence among visitors, it is better to turn to professional designers. Only a specialist will choose the desired style and recommend fashionable interior details to create a unified image of an effective company. The interior should inspire complete confidence and make a positive impression on visitors.

“Transparent” offices are very fashionable now. Panoramic glazing in modern offices, mobile partitions that are completely transparent, glass furniture, etc. are popular. Such lightweight interiors help expand the space; they are light and airy.

Decorating a beautiful and stylish room where it will be comfortable to work and receive clients is not as simple a task as it might seem at first glance. Competently expressing the company’s image, calculating the design budget, creating comfortable workplaces – many questions immediately arise.

The main rule in arranging office premises is to take into account all the above nuances, regardless of the field of activity of any company. Therefore, you need to know the design rules taking into account fashion trends.

How to create an unusual office interior?

Classic and Empire

Large companies seeking to emphasize their high professional level, stability and excellent quality of work (services) are better off choosing classic designs or luxurious empire style. These are the most popular styles in representative banks, as well as in law firms, luxury real estate agencies, etc.

If you want to emphasize the strict conservatism and stability of the company, these are the best solutions. Examples of chic offices in a modern style can be seen below in our gallery.

To create the right atmosphere in these prestigious styles, expensive materials and appropriate luxurious furnishings are required. Therefore, renovation and complete transformation of an ordinary room into a stunning office is not a cheap pleasure.

But it is the excellent quality of new materials, ideal order and strict lines that will create the necessary appearance of nobility and impeccable taste. Each element should loudly communicate the prestige and sustainable success of the organization.

Work in a modern office should be at the highest level, then employees will involuntarily “strive” to be better and strive for new knowledge. It is more difficult to unite a large team to work as one well-coordinated mechanism, where each employee is a qualified specialist and clearly interacts with others.

A “lightweight” English design is also suitable; it perfectly reflects the seriousness and presentability of a large organization.

Timeless classics in design are somewhat heavy but prestigious expensive furniture, leather chairs, large wardrobes. This is convenient in spacious rooms. The classic design of premises never loses its relevance, it is always in trend, ideas can be seen in the following photos:

It should be taken into account that it is not always appropriate to create classic interiors. For example, conservatism in design is not suitable for an IT company.

Modern

If you need to choose an option that will amaze you with its novelty and originality, it is better to consider modern. Nowadays it is not used so often, but its aesthetics and unusual shapes always make it stand out.

Its main characteristics are unusual shapes, smooth lines, a predominance of gloss on all surfaces, and a stunning play of contrasts in colors and textures. A huge selection of furniture in this direction is always easy to find.

You can use rich, stylish tones. Modern looks much “lighter” than classics; they are recommended for use in small rooms.

Non-standard solutions are valued today more than ever. There is no boredom in them; they amaze with their dynamics and bright colors. Experienced designers can easily adapt modernism specifically for your field of activity.

For example, transparent partitions are possible here, which go well with new equipment, home theater, etc.

In classic versions, it is difficult to divide the room into small offices. Modern office equipment: laptops, computers, faxes do not fit so organically into the classics, but in modern they will become a continuation of the interior. Furniture: Light tables and chairs, often in bright colors.

An excellent solution - modern is ideal for organizations related to creativity, tourism, etc.

Hi-tech

For companies that outsource, IT technologies are more suitable for hi-tech. This ultra-modern design fits perfectly with any technical innovations. Originality and unusual combinations of elements in the interior will demonstrate to clients the employees’ ability to think outside the box.

Mobile partitions and division into many small offices will also fit organically here. Open space is perfect for offices.

Important! It is imperative to pay attention to the competent organization of free space and clear zoning.

For this you need multifunctional furniture, especially transformers. Boards look good for drawing schedules and reminders. In such offices it is easy to change everything, even decor is not required for decoration. The originality of furniture, lamps, and organization of space become spectacular decorations for working with visitors.

We hope that the advice of experienced specialists will help you understand new trends in office styles. We bring to your attention a variety of photos of modern offices for every taste.

Photos of modern offices

When arranging the interior of an office, like any other room, you need to start by drawing up a design project. There are no small details when designing an office: all the nuances are extremely important here, right down to the location of electrical wiring and network communications. One of the most important components will be the layout of lighting fixtures. This is because proper lighting is the key to efficient work of employees. It creates a work environment.

Types of Office Layouts

It is worth noting that office interior design can be done in two ways:

• Closed concept
• Open concept

The first type includes the offices that are in the photos from Soviet times: long corridors, many doors with signs, everyone works behind a closed door. This design is required for offices of a linear-functional structure of an organization.

An open concept arrangement is the concentration of workers in one space without restrictions such as walls and doors. This type of space is called a “studio” or open space. It gives greater contact between people.

A mixed type, popular for several decades but now less relevant, is known as cubicle. This is an open space divided into workspace cells using thin human-height partitions.

Proper lighting in the office interior

As noted above, lighting plays a major role when creating office space design. All offices or workstations, if it is a studio, must be decorated in the same style. The same applies to lighting. Firstly, you need to clearly calculate the number of employees who will be in the room at the same time. Stylish interior solutions are created through the correct use of light and color. It’s worth looking at how the different zones in the room are played out in the photo, of which there are now a huge number, and it becomes clear that the same interior with different lighting solutions will take on different sounds.

If the office is decorated with a warm range of shades, then the presence of cold lighting here is a huge mistake. The use of this or that type of lighting directly depends on the type of activity of the company. So, for a factory office, the best solution would be bluish lighting in combination with a cool shade of the walls. This will emphasize the severity of the situation and develop discipline. A creative atmosphere is achieved by using warm colors in lighting and interior design.

Spotlights will help make the room wider and visually raise the ceilings. Massive lighting structures, even the most modern ones, cannot do this.

Advice! The interior of a small office is decorated using light shades of the walls and warm lighting, so you can create the effect of more free space.

Furniture is an important link in the office interior

The office space should not be cluttered with a huge number of shelves and cabinets; such design, first of all, will not have the best effect on the employee himself. Here it is worth recalling photos of archival premises - this is where it is appropriate. Furniture design depends on the style of the office, and there are a great many options for their arrangement. The most famous and frequently used is the linear version. An excellent arrangement option is a corner one. Zoning is also often done with the help of furniture, thereby separating some employees from others.

The color of the furniture in the office is selected according to the overall color scheme of the interior design. Gray, cherry and natural wood colors are popular now, although more recently black was in trend.

Now manufacturers offer a huge range, from which you can choose something that will fit well into any style. Office furniture is created simple, but at the same time functional.

Manager's office

The director's office combines the functions of a manager's workplace and a room where negotiations are held. There should not be a design that only he likes, but the decision to create an environment in the general style of the company is very successful. There is no need to decorate your office with your personal belongings: a huge number of photos of family and friends, one on the desk will be enough. The abundance of paintings, hunting trophies, weapons and other elements of the boss’s hobby makes his office look like a museum and distracts him from work.

A simple design with small accents indicating the identity of the room will look best. Instead of paintings on the walls, it is better to place certificates and awards, only the most important ones, if there are many of them. Furniture should also not remind you of your home environment, even if it is very convenient. If desired, you can put a sofa: the default option is a plain leather one, but not a variegated color. In addition to the desktop, there should be a table for meetings and negotiations that can accommodate a larger number of people.

Employees' offices

The premises in which employees work must match the design of the interior of the manager’s office. The environment, even strict, should create a feeling of comfort. Workplaces need to be made comfortable for both employees and clients. They should not be cluttered.

Advice! It is enough to have a computer, telephone, diary and writing materials on the table. This arrangement suggests the employee’s performance.

The style of furniture should also be similar to the one that the director adheres to, without copying it. A few basic elements are enough. In most cases, paintings are welcome, but not in too many. They have a strong influence on everyone in the office. Seascapes and paintings in soothing colors will put you in a working mood and give you a boost of energy, but images of flowers and still lifes will bring calm, so they are more suitable for a relaxation room.

If on the eve of holidays, such as New Year's, the boss gives instructions to decorate the interior, then this is done in moderation so that tinsel and other attributes do not interfere with work and are not too intrusive. There is no need to decorate every wall with New Year's greetings; just a few accents are enough to bring in the holiday atmosphere. Design ideas can be gleaned from thematic photos, and some companies even invite a designer to create a New Year's mood.

Basic office interior styles

The distribution of styles tends to differ according to geographical location:
